The youngest ever Dragon has entered the Den. Steven Bartlett, a Botswana-born businessman who built one of the world's most influential social media organisations from the comfort of his Manchester bedroom at the age of 21, and joined the BBC panel of esteemed investors in 2022.

Steven's marketing company The Social Chain went public last year and now has a current market valuation of over $600M.

Since then, the young Plymouth-raised entrepreneur has toured the world as a speaker, investor, author and content creator, hosting UK's number one Podcast on Apple podcast, 'The Diary of a CEO'.

His latest book, Happy Sexy Millionaire, which tells his story to success, is also a Sunday Times bestseller.

I had the wonderful opportunity to interview him through the Cambridge Union. Find out more about the Cambridge Union: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB-BB8g8d8M&t=75s&ab_channel=CambridgeUnion
